There is a dream called football

Chapter 523 Rain Fight and Long Shot

Ballack fired a heavy shot, and Van der Sar thought it was a white spot flying over the rain curtain. This kind of weather is a shame for goalkeepers.

Ferguson was also shocked. As long as a long shot in this kind of weather is within the range of the door frame, it is enough for the coach to be terrified.

The premise is that the ball does not fly, even if it is a little slower.

Manchester United also knew that Ronaldo fired from 30 meters away. With Ronaldo's heavy artillery and the footwork of the fallen leaves, Cech was more uncomfortable than Van der Sar, but when the ball reached the goal, the strength was not strong.

However, this kind of long-range shooting tactic can only be done occasionally, because there are not many excellent long-range shooting opportunities. After all, in this level of competition, basically when shooting, there are opposing players who step forward to interfere.

Therefore, there are not many opportunities to draw a bow and set an arrow, swing your legs and volley vigorously.

Soon, Grant noticed something bad. That was Didier Drogba on his side. In the heavy rain, his impact power dropped. The reason was very simple, the lawn was wet and slippery.

Big men often need stronger grip when making sharp turns and stops, and obviously this field is not very friendly to Drogba.

When the ball was given to Drogba, he felt like he was on the skating rink, and his feet felt a little unsteady. In this case, it would be difficult to forcefully turn around and squeeze in, but Drogba was going to try it, and he turned halfway to squeeze Vidic away.

But just as soon as he turned around, Drogba slipped on his own, and then he fell on Vidic's body.

Vidic was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this guy looked honest, but he was actually such a thief, so he poured himself on himself.

"Referee, he fouled."

Drogba sat on the ground and complained, Vidic was also happy, the referee ran over and signaled Drogba to get up, the ball was fine.

And Drogba smiled wryly.

"Your acting is so-so." Vidic laughed.

Drogba continued to smile wryly, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, someone on Manchester United's side was also embarrassed by the heavy rain, this time it was Ronaldo.

Facing Makelele, he made continuous feints of stepping on a bicycle, but suddenly the ball disappeared. It turned out that when the person was moving, the ball was stopped by the stagnant water, so it looked very funny.

The audience was also happy. This may be the most embarrassing scene in the history of Ronaldo cycling. The person passed, but the ball did not pass.

On the other side, Li Qiao will use the rain to make some fuss. For example, facing Ashley Cole, Li Qiao no longer has any fake moves, but moves the ball forward, and then everyone sprints for [-] meters, depending on who is faster.

The fact is that although Li Qiao's speed is fast, Cole's speed is not slow. Li Qiao can pass, but he can't get rid of it. That is to say, Li Qiao is the last one to get the ball, but Cole is already in place to form a block, so Li Qiao's little advantage is not of much use.

Ferguson still wanted to talk to the fourth official.

"There's no way to play in this field."

"Sir, this topic is over, the game must continue, you might as well pray that Manchester United can end the battle in 90 minutes."

"Don't worry, I will finish this damn game within 90 minutes."

On the other side, Grant didn't even need an umbrella, and stood in the heavy rain. He was very nervous, because it seemed that the situation was not going well. Chelsea's long pass could not be played, and there was also a problem with the strong attack in the middle.

Of course, the heavy rain is fair, because Manchester United's wing attack is basically dead.

What this game requires is a dribbling ball.

This is the common thought in the minds of the coaches of both sides.

Soon, Cole gets the ball.

In the match against Sweden in the 2006 World Cup, Cole's flying kick was amazing. Now that ball often appears in the highlights of major football goals. It can be described as wonderful, and Cole is also a very important player in Chelsea.

He managed to get away from Neville's entanglement on the wing, and then he flicked the outside of his foot and gave the ball to Drogba in the penalty area.

This is a position on the ribs. This time Drogba used a little trick, that is, he leaned on Vidic before taking the ball. Usually this is fine, but this time it is different. Vidic was leaned on and the soles of his feet slipped.

In this way, Manchester United's defense exposed its softest ribs.

It's like a crocodile showing its white belly. No matter how fierce it is usually, once the crocodile shows its soft belly, it's over.

This is also the case at this time. For the first time in this game, Drogba got such a good shooting opportunity in the Manchester United penalty area.

"Our chance has come." Grant was already clenching his fists and preparing to celebrate.

Van der Sar dives and Drogba hits the far corner with his left foot, but...

Drogba once again single-handedly.

In the early years, Drogba was almost synonymous with World of Warcraft. Although he could score some unbelievable goals and crush opponents, he often couldn't handle the simplest goals.

But this can only be said that no one is perfect. If Drogba's body can still have Inzaghi's keenness, then he will be invincible.

Missing a good opportunity again, Drogba covered his face, a little regretful, but the opportunity had been missed, Lampard came over and patted him.

"You did a great job."

On the other side, Vidic was explaining to his goalkeeper why he fell, because he had pitted Van der Sar on the ball.

And Van der Sar also patted him, "Strictly speaking, the opponent fouled this time. I saw a small movement on his hand, so I can't blame you for it."

The two clapped hands, and the teammates on the defensive line often gave their backs to each other and protected each other. It was almost like a survival game, and they had to absolutely trust each other.

After that, Manchester United paid attention when defending Drogba in the penalty area. The first time they did not make any physical contact with the opponent, but stuck in his direction. If the opponent made such a move, the referee would blow it.

The most important thing is not to have 100/[-] physical contact with Drogba, which is basically a [-]% disadvantage.

Because no one can use his body to squeeze away the big black tower of Drogba.

The game became stalemate again. To be honest, in this situation, neither side wanted to play overtime, but it seemed that the two sides could hardly avoid it, because there were very few opportunities to attack, and the defense of both teams was world-class.

At this time, the camera was shown to the UEFA bosses in the stands, as if they were saying, how did you choose the venue for the Champions League final?

This game was played like an S.

UEFA bosses also feel very helpless, who knew the weather would become like this?They just hope that both sides can work harder in the end.
